In February I got an adorable baby boar guinea pig with a wild curly coat. He was called Scribble by accident when the name stuck before I'd meant to choose it and has grown up very well. I had been planning on getting female guinea pigs (a sow) so when I fell in love with Scribble I had to change the idea of what kind of herd I wanted. Having a ( Read more... )

I should remember August 2013 as being a good August. The kind of month which seems to disappear just as suddenly as it began, where days melt together into a large banner of "I Done Things" and yet you aren't quite sure where one day began and the other finished. I have been trying to fill my days with things that I enjoy doing. If I want to do ( Read more... )

Princess (Kitty) is one of those common cats who, 7-8 years ago decided that her previous owner was rubbish and that I should be the one to look after her. She patiently lingered at my parents home after I left for university, making it clear that I was her person. When I moved in with my current flat mates, Princess moved to live with me.

Princess (cat) gracing me with her cuddles and trying to convince me that laptops are not better than her love. Taking Gemma's (horse top right) warm neck-rug off and seeing her looking good underneath knowing the reason she shines is because I've been grooming her. Riding Gemma and talking to Susie about how she handles Flame (florescent horse) ( Read more... )

A week ago, after what I thought was our last weekend, I had my bunny Sitka put to sleep. Poor girl had a mountain of problems from becoming old and seemed to be having more bad days than good.

She stopped loving and novelty of being outside in the sun.

I have known Sitka her entire life and won't forget her. It's pretty shit.
